No. Fehling's test is positive for glucose which forms gluconic acid as the product.
Starch doesnot give positive result for Fehling's test as it does not have a free hemiacetal group
Fehling test is used for reducing sugars.
Formic acid (HCOOH - methanoic acid) also gives a positive Fehling's test result. This is because it is readily oxidizable to carbon dioxide and water.
All aldehydes give a positive result with Fehling's test. All ketones give negative results.
yes.
Formalin gives a positive Fehling's solution test.
No, Fehling's Test will have no reaction with Formic Acid HCOOH + 2CuSO4 + 4NaOh ---> no Reaction
Fehling's test uses tartaric acid, and Benedict's test uses citric acid
Starch doesnot give positive result for Fehling's test as it does not have a free hemiacetal group
Fehling test is used for reducing sugars.
Formic acid (HCOOH - methanoic acid) also gives a positive Fehling's test result. This is because it is readily oxidizable to carbon dioxide and water.
Fehling test is only suitable for reducing sugars, that means, monosaccharides in its open form with an aldehyd available. Polysacchardes have the aldehydes in a acetal form and they can not react
All aldehydes give a positive result with Fehling's test. All ketones give negative results.
Because it is a polymer of formaldehyde with no free aldehydic group.
why does salicylic acid give a positive test with FeCl3
Fehling's test is used to differentiate between aldehyde and ketones group. An aldehyde group will react with Fehling's reagent to give cuprous oxide resulting in a red precipitate. A Ketone group will not react with Fehling's reagent.
no
